What the e-Business visa covers
The e-Business visa is for short business trips to India, such as attending meetings, trade fairs and conferences, selling or buying products, setting up business ventures, and technical visits. It is valid for 1 year with multiple entries.
It does not allow you to take up employment in India. If you are going to work for an Indian company, you need an Employment visa.
What you will need
As well as your passport scan and photo, you usually need:
- Your business card, or an email signature with your details
- An invitation letter from the Indian company, with their address and contact details
- Details of your own employer or business
Make sure the company details on the invitation match what you enter in the form.
